Jessica Rigby , BACP

Jessica Rigby is a qualified therapist registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, who trained through a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education and completed an additional year of study to gain a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling.

With five years of practice, she works with people from many backgrounds and brings a blend of professional training and life experience to her work. Coming to the profession as a mature student, she values the range of perspectives clients bring and aims to create an accepting, non-judgemental space where difficult topics can be explored openly.

Jessica has experience supporting issues such as sexuality, consensual non-monogamy, personality disorders, anxiety and depression, and she also works with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, stress, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm, inquisitive and compassionate; she works collaboratively rather than offering prescriptive solutions, holding that each person is the expert on their own experience. By offering empathy and reflective listening she supports clients to clarify their priorities and find practical ways forward that suit their lives.

She welcomes enquiries from people seeking therapy and is currently accepting new clients in the United Kingdom.

Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Support Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy is at the heart of Jessica Rigby’s practice. This approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard as they explore their thoughts and emotions. It is well suited to those seeking support with self-esteem, relationship dynamics, identity questions, and emotional processing.

Solution-Focused Therapy complements this by concentrating on practical steps and achievable goals. Rather than dwelling only on problems, it helps clients identify existing strengths and small changes that move them toward the outcomes they want. This approach can be particularly useful for managing stress, solving communication issues, and navigating life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her style as therapy progresses to reflect what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Jessica is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, during work breaks, or while balancing family commitments, while still working with a qualified, registered therapist.
